EDISON, N.J., May 11, 2005 – Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL ), an innovative provider of digital entertainment products and content , today announced its exciting product lineup to be unveiled at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), May 18-20 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The Company is showcasing new offerings from each of its three product lines–Games, Gadgets and Videos.

“Our compelling lineup of premium and value games, cool gadgets and mass market video content reflects our commitment to delivering high quality entertainment,” said Jesse Sutton, president of Majesco Entertainment. “These unique offerings from each of our product lines exemplify our vision for the future and reinforce our overall position as a growing powerhouse in digital entertainment.”

Majesco’s video game lineup is comprised of wholly-owned intellectual properties, strong mass market brands and classic movie-based properties that appeal to a wide demographic. E3 marks the public debut of two next-generation titles: Demonik, developed by Terminal Reality in collaboration with horror mastermind Clive Barker and Tiger Hill Games, and The Darkness, from award-winning development team, Starbreeze Studios, creators of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay. Majesco is also showcasing several games based on high profile entertainment properties including Aeon Flux, Taxi Driver™ and Jaws™ Unleashed, developed by award-winning studio Appaloosa Interactive. In addition, both Advent Rising for Xbox® and PC and Psychonauts for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system will be featured on the floor.

Majesco will debut several flagship properties on the Sony PSP handheld system and Nintendo DS, including Black & White® Creatures, Infected, Advent Shadow, Bust-A-Move DS, Guilty Gear Judgment, Guilty Gear Dust Strikers, Nanostray, Texas Hold ‘Em Poker DS, Golden Nugget® Casino DS, A Boy and His Blob and ATV Quad Frenzy.

Majesco also has a full schedule of appearances and promotions planned for its E3 booth. In anticipation of the Memorial Day launch of Advent Rising, Majesco is offering E3 attendees a chance to win $5,000 as a precursor to the official start of its Advent Rising’s “Race to Save Humanity” million dollar play-and-win contest which kicks off June 9th. Other booth highlights include: appearances by best selling author Clive Barker and Aeon Flux creator Peter Chung, an Infected deathmatch tournament on the PSP handheld system, multiple JAWS Unleashed “feeding times,” Infected zombie “makeovers,” and much more.

Representing its Videos product line, Majesco is showcasing key properties from Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel and others. Game Boy Advance Video utilizes Majesco’s platform independent proprietary video compression technology that allows full-color, full-motion video to be viewed on the handheld system.

Majesco will also feature unique offerings from its Gadgets division, including the public introduction of Wireless TV Arcade. These devices are the first plug-and-play products that do not require controller wires and are effective up to 40 feet away from the television. Majesco’s Wireless TV Arcade products include: Frogger® , Texas Hold ‘Em Poker and Paintball Challenge, among others.

In addition, Majesco is demonstrating exciting new wireless networking and communications technologies for the Sony PSP handheld system and Nintendo DS.

Wait! what platforms for these 2 titles?

Guilty Gear Judgment
Guilty Gear Dust Strikers


just a guess but: Guilty Gear Dust Strikers. I would assume the other one is PSP since these are usually announced in Japan first, no?
 
A Boy and His Blob? Majesco announced it for GBA four years ago, but quietly cancelled it without releasing any media. Odd to see it come back, although it's probably not the same game. BTW, have these Guilty Gear games been announced in Japan yet?

Oh, and what happened to Age of Empires DS?

Vivendi's handling Majesco releases in Europe - they're definitely doing Advent Rising (and Bloodrayne 2, FWIW) although I'm not sure on the others yet.
 
I've been anticipating Advent Rising from the frist time they showed it off. Is Advent Shadow part of the same series? If so, bought. And I pray that The Darkness owns like Riddick did, best single-player FPS ever IMO. I really can't wait to see what kind of engine they pump out on X360.

For that few people that care: rumours are Bloodrayne 2 PC was cancelled.
 
I probably didn't have half of a NES collection / or NES experiences that you guys had. I must have been about 5/6 when it was really becoming big news in my part of the country. I begged for one every Christmas... out of the meagre set of games I tinkered with before my SNES/Mega-Drive binge, this and Maniac Mansion really stood out along side my favourite Nintendo titles. I'm sure it'd seem dated now (hell, I might throw it on and see), but it was gold to me back then. Even if its just a glorified port with touch control, it could stand to be better than the original.

This has leapt right up my anticipated games list..
